Spectroscopic and biochemical studies on protein variants of quinaldine 4-oxidase: Role of E736 in catalysis and effects of serine ligands on the FeSI and FeSII clusters.

Abstract excerpt

Quinaldine 4-oxidase (Qox), which catalyzes the hydroxylation of quinaldine to 1H-4-oxoquinaldine, is a heterotrimeric (LMS)2 molybdo-iron/sulfur flavoprotein belonging to the xanthine oxidase family. Variants of Qox were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. Replacement in the large subunit at E736, which is presumed to be located close to the molybdenum, by aspartate (QoxLE736D) resulted in a marked decrease...
